I dont seem them as "transformations".. I see them as phony! Katy Perry was a christian singer.. From blonde good Christian girl to Raven haired, Sexy, girl-kissing siren?? LOL Dont get me wrong.. I DO enjoy her music and shes a pretty girl but its NOT her. Shes a puppet. Record execs are making a killing on her and shes had lots of #1 songs. So KUDOS to her but i bet in 5 years we wont hear anything from her. They will be on to the next big thing. Same as J-Lo she had ONE hit song and she became famous again... Her star is falling FAST
